Cursive, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Conduits

When: Sat., April 7, 9 p.m. 2012

For Tim Kasher, concepts are what Cursive's caustic and unflinching albums are all about, whether they be loosely-biographical stories about destructive relationships (like 2000's much-beloved Domestica), or, as on this year's I Am Gemini, a rock-opera about two estranged twin brothers having rock-opera-level conflicts. Cymbals Eat Guitars is less concerned with narrative through lines, instead preferring to compress the last 15 years of indie rock into songs that are just familiar enough to like or dismiss. With Conduits. —David Raposa
